Top 5 Hits of 2013

It turns out that these Top 5 lists are about as productive as I'm going to be this week. As clumsy as I am, it's surprising things like this don't happen more often.

My kitchen knives are sharp, I should pay attention when using them lest my finger get sliced along with tandoori lamb. The brilliant nurses at our local hospital (extremely local, just around the corner) stuck me back together, bandaged me up and sent me home all in just over half an hour. Sewing will have to wait until everything I touch stops causing immense pain, it's going to be a close call as to whether or not I can get the Christmas baking done in time. One thing I can manage one handed is typing, so lists are well timed!

This is another one that has seen a lot of action. It's great over plain tees and jeans and I love wearing it with my grey jersey mini dress. It attracts a lot of attention too. This is probably the garment that gets the most admiration from strangers.

These probably get the most wear of all. They're so comfy, I love them deeply.

4. I am rather pleased with the sleeveless chambray shirt I made as part of my summer capsule wardrobe. There will be photos coming as soon as I finish the final couple of garments. The shirt has great details, fits beautifully and has quickly become a wardrobe staple.

I love this outfit. Darron loves this outfit. It was fun to make, the colours and prints are fun and summery, and it makes me grin like an idiot whenever he wears it and tells everyone with great pride that his wife made the whole lot!

So those are the top 5 hits! Coming up will be the misses, and there have been plenty, let me tell you! I also managed to get my December outfit finished and photographed before my unfortunate injury, so that is coming up soon too.
